Elder Benson is dead.

He had a gift of taking pictures in a surreal manner and didn't care people thought he was strange. 

When his body is found with a bluish substance in his system, everyone concludes that he overdosed on drugs.
And no one cares really.
After all, he was the weird guy.

Except for his two best friends, Malachi and Simi. 
Malachi believes there's no way Elder would do drugs and Simi knows that her oldest friend was the gentlest soul she knew.

When they find a photobook of Elder's, they discover dangerous secrets captured in the photos Elder took. Any of which could have led to his death. 

Together, they piece together the puzzles left by Elder in his photobook to find his killer before they strike again.
